Mike Hammer is a more intense version of the classic hardboiled detective. Hammer, a war verteran and staunch anitcommunist is just as likely to put a bullet in the belly as he is a punch to the face. If you enjoy Philip Marlowe and Sam Spade, check out Mike Hammer.
The Snake is Mike Hammer at his kiss 'em-and-slug 'em best. The stage is set for a thrill-packed mystery that speeds through scene after scene of gore and guts and sizzling sex to explode in a knockout, socko finale.
Made to order for the no-holds-barred Spillane fans, this is a yarn of violence and vengeance that zeroes Mike Hammer into the middle of an old, old crime.
